J6, you can get small quantities of ebony and other hardwoods on ebay for not a lot of money, you probably know this already. I don't think you need to do commission pieces so fast, just make lots of cues with different weights and BPs, butt sizes, different lengths, tip sizes, etc. Gives you time to learn your trade, gain experience. Let the people pick one from the many. Custom is a tricky biz, even for JP.
